It was an evening that will be etched in the memory of Scotland fans for a long time to come, as Andy Robertson's dramatic late winner sealed a 2-1 win over Poland and booked the team's place in the Nations League play-offs.
The Tartan Army had gone into the match knowing that anything less than three points would severely dent their hopes of progression, and the pressure was palpable from the opening whistle.
Despite being up against a tough opponent, Steve Clarke's side came out of the blocks with purpose, dominating possession and creating the better chances in the early stages.
But as the game wore on, it was clear that this was going to be a gritty battle, with neither team willing to give an inch.
That was until the introduction of John Souttar, who added a fresh spark to the Scottish attack with his crossing ability, and it was his pinpoint delivery that ultimately led to the winning goal.
As the clock ticked into injury time, the hopes of the crowd began to dwindle, only to be reignited when Robertson rose above the defender to head home Souttar's cross and send the stadium into raptures.
The Scotland captain's effort was the culmination of an unwavering dedication and team spirit that has been building throughout the campaign, and manager Steve Clarke was quick to praise the resilience of his team.
Speaking to the media in the aftermath of the match, Clarke hailed the impact of the substitutes and the determination of his players to secure the win, saying it was the perfect reward for the hard work and commitment they'd shown in training.
The victory means that Scotland are now guaranteed a spot in the Nations League play-offs, where they will have the opportunity to secure promotion to League A.
And as the players celebrated with their fans, there was a sense that something special is brewing in this Scotland team, and that the best is yet to come.
